#Climat | 4 personnes sur 10 se déclarent très inquiètes des effets du dérèglement climatique. Cette inquiétude est plus marquée dans les zones urbaines denses, pour les plus diplômés, pour les femmes et pour le CM de l'Insee qui vous exprime toute sa solidarité. 👉 www.insee.fr/fr/statistiq...

At the end of the term I asked my college creative wriing students to submit anonymous thoughts on AI. No real surprises: Mood ranges from resignation to despair, capitulation from embittered erosion of standards to total, feelings of betrayal from deep to furious. 1/

It’s wild how Haiti continues to have the modern world shook by its presence.

WAR DON'T SEX CRIMES HIDE CRIMES

Ça va le Monde ? Peut-être pas très malin de publier verbatim et sans contextualisation une lettre qui contient des passages antisémites accusant Israël d'avoir « fabriqué » la guerre contre l'état islamique, non ?

C'est mon anniversaire en plus

I do appreciate cis advocates of trans healthcare, especially in these times, but I do wish more of them would let go of the "experts know best" framing. I'm aware it's safe, palatable, sellable, but there's a century of "experts" torturing, converting, and sexually abusing trans people. So.

it's such a huge story and it's being so under-covered

Quand on fera le constat de la hausse des taux de suicide des jeunes personnes trans, quand on fera la somme de ces suicides, en comptant chaque pays ayant basculé sur des politiques anti-trans.. Que se passera-il? Qui rendra des comptes? Le moment venu, il faudra balancer les noms de ces criminels?

a thing we have to be careful of is that all these people, especially Epstein, had a hugely exaggerated view of their own power and loved to claim they were responsible for shit they had very little or nothing to do with.

Hi, Epstein did not create the GCs. Researchers for the last ten years have been telling you over and over about the collection of forces that resulted in the GCs. There is no conspiracy. Just a bunch of political actors collaborating in their mutual interest.

Might we tactfully point out that to obsess negatively with trans people when the richest and most powerful men in the world are trying to reverse centuries of humane progress and equality to acquire impunity for rape and murder shows a weird sense of priorities?

imagine if it happens on tv

142 years ago today in 1884, John Coulter died after falling drunk down stairs at his friends house. After his death, it was discovered that he was a trans man. He'd worked in the Belfast docks for decades and had been married for 30 years, his wife only leaving him because of his alcohol problem.

The New York Times described a harrassment campaign that helped drive a young trans woman to suicide as "online criticisms." Today on Assigned, @evanurquhart.bsky.social responds with contained fury to New York Times piece on the suicide of Lia Smith. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

Unless the "interim governing structure" is 'the Maduro regime run by Delcy Rodriguez,' they're gonna have a hard time governing much. Either that or they have some invading to do. It is robustly unclear to me what they think they are doing or if they know.

If you don't perceive the fact that they don't even feel the slightest need to obfuscate or manufacture consent anymore as an escalation, I don't know what to say to you?

I feel like I haven’t even been properly lied to about the purposes of this war

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

A deluge of work on regime change after the 2003 invasion of Iraq yielded strong (and rare) agreement in IR: it doesn't work & has terrible consequences. @profdownes.bsky.social's book Catastrophic Success lays it out, but it's right there in the title. www.cornellpress.cornell.edu/book/9781501...

We tried so hard to raise the alarm. Is anyone paying attention yet?

ME: (first day practicing Bug Law) May it please the Court— BUG JUDGE: (sternly) Bug Court.

"Pour nous, juives et juifs, combattre l’antisémitisme ne passe pas par une approbation du sionisme mais au contraire par la reconnaissance de droits égaux imprescriptibles pour tous les êtres humains (...) et, par conséquent, pour ceux des Palestiniens." www.lemonde.fr/idees/articl...

So, when a critic says, “Ah hah! That app makes shit up!” A lot of people will nod politely. And then they will think to themselves, “Well, so does the newspaper, and so does Facebook, and so do politicians, and none of those help me do this task or say nice things to me when I ask them questions.”

So similarly, when we see people who prefer ChatGPT or a similar synthetic text extruding machine as a source of medical information, that means those are people who are under-served in the current system.

BREAKING: Trump administration plans to end prison rape protections for trans & intersex people, memo says. A DOJ memo says certain standards under the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) do not align with Trump’s Jan. 20 anti-trans executive order, @byadamrhodes.bsky.social reports.

De nouvelles photographies issues de la bureaucratie du régime Assad révèlent une fois de plus l’ampleur des crimes commis. Des visages, des corps, des numéros. Encore des photos. Encore des preuves. Encore des vies détruites et méthodiquement archivées. La machine de mort du régime syrien.

The man in the recording of the trans woman receiving those disgusting questions released today is unmistakeably Paul Moran, lead psychiatrist at the NGS by the way, not just some random maverick clinician. The rot comes from the very top #SpéirGorm #Trans

I wrote a little bit about the "missing heritability" question and several recent studies that have brought it to a close. A short 🧵

i get it girl... we all feel this way for a couple months right at the beginning,

📣 Nouveau pour l'Observatoire des masculinismes. J'analyse le backlash masculiniste institutionnalisé à la blague de Pierre-Emmanuel Barré dans l’émission "La Dernière" sur Radio Nova, et ce que ce manque d'humour nous dit sur notre démocratie. blogs.mediapart.fr/stephanie-la...

I want to explain a few things and then it might be clearer why UK trans people are upset. In 2001 I married my wife, Sylvia. In 2005 I started medical transition. (1/13)

Convergence remarquable : Céline Masson, connue comme codirectrice du transphobe Observatoire de la petite sirène (inspirateur de la PPL Eustache-Brinio), est aussi directrice du RRA, à la manœuvre pour l'annulation du colloque au Collège de France www.blast-info.fr/articles/202...

In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice. KURT VONNEGUT - born 103yrs ago today - was the only one to respond. His reply was a doozy.

“whatever club he’s invited to join has been devalued by the invitation”

“The anti-trans movement likes to cloak its transphobia & transmisogyny in a patently genocidal language of social contagion… The language of modern day transphobia is very similar to National Socialist views on homosexuality.” Transphobia is rooted in recycled homophobia. It belongs in the trash.

Transphobia is a pipeline to the far right. An example: Suzanne Moore used to be a left wing columnist at the Guardian. Then came the anti-trans panic. Despite the Guardian also promoting it, it wasn’t enough & she left. Moore is now complaining about wokeness over the Irish famine & colonialism.

I finally had a chance to read the Ohio case prohibiting schools from enforcing anti-bullying policies protecting trans kids. This is a shining example of the two-faced nature of ostensible “free speech” legal groups who never seem to feel the same compulsion to actually sue on behalf of trans kids.

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position

Joyce is utterly devoid of empathy, compassion or comprehension. It makes me weep that her GC (trans-hating) beliefs are protected and ‘worthy of respect in a democratic society’ when part of this belief is that trans people and those that love them are not worthy of respect at the undertakers.

Did the New York Times ruin journalism?

“The Commission finds that Israel is responsible for the commission of genocide in Gaza,”

I love that Mamdani is what the right claimed Obama was: A Muslim socialist born in Africa. The right practically manifested Mamdani into existence.
